Ask permission for use of logos and case studies on website

[sofer]

This is also an opportunity to let past clients know about the programme.

Did we not have permission before?

[sofer]

@sima-qian it was patchy. We may have asked permission in some cases, but there may not be a record.

The email copy should be something like:

You may recall that in 2015/6/7, some our students developed for you. Would you be happy for us to refer to the project and user your logo on our website?

We also need to maintain a spreadsheet of responses.

So, I'm putting together a generic request to use websiteand will then look for contact e-mails in the existing spreadsheet in order to get in touch today. No bulk e-mailing, I'll contact each organisation separately.

Relevant legislation (yep, we need to abide by that):

@sofer May I suggest that we include a clause in whatever agreement we offer clients/partners so that we can secure their permission to use their logo on the FAC website? This would save us having to request it retrospectively.

[MissArray]

OK, so, I've listed the organisations whose logos we're already using and checked out their websites to find out whether there are any specific guidelines for using their logos / brand identity. I've also drafted a generic e-mail requesting permission to use their logo.

@sofer, two questions:

1. when you get a chance, would you please have a look and let me know whether there's anything you'd like me to change and let me know how you'd like me to sign off?
2. Is there a list of past projects so that I can refer to each correctly? I searched for a couple of names here (on GitHub) didn't get very far.

Dear [Contact Person],

In YEAR Founders & Coders [BRIEF REFERENCE TO RELEVANT PROJECT HERE]. We are in the process of overhauling our student website and, in order to showcase our past projects, we would like to ask your permission to display your organisation's logo on our website. Would [organisation X] grant Founders & Coders the non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free right to use your organisation's logo for the sole purpose of indicating that [organisation X] collaborated with Founders & Coders in the context of a non-commercial student project?

Kind regards,
[Who signs off? Dan Sofer? Artemis Gause on behalf of F&C?]
